Because there are FAR too many B.S. audio-gate b!tch-fests going on after a great win. Would a little ACTUAL football-talk hurt so much?
PatsFan37 said:On the AD vs. Clark issue, I think it's interesting how the media (Felger in particular) keep repeating how Harrison couldn't cover Witten, despite Witten having only 3 receptions for 47 yds. He had 9 and 10 receptions in the games before and after the NE game. At least one of Witten's receptions came when Harrison abandoned coverage to rush the QB.
The media has made a habit of spreading this kind of misinformation, which is why I see a big matchup tomorrow between Dallas Clark and Rodney Harrison, not Clark and AD.
Rodney Harrison is getting older, Rodney Harrison still has some rust to knock off, Rodney Harrison was never and will never BE "elite" in coverage, BUT...he did a helluva job yesterday against a very tough opponent, a guy who lit us up and who was as responsible as anyone for the Patriots not making it 4 out of 6 Super Bowls last year.
And it's worth noting that the previous three times we had played Indy, we didn't have Rodney and we lost. And the three games prior to THOSE games, we did have Rodney and we won. Just sayin'.
Helluva job.
